Cross country, golf, gymnastics, rowing, swimming and diving, track and field, and wrestling titles are awarded during an annual meet of participating teams.

The Big 12 plans to add other schools in that sport to meet the sponsorship level required for an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, but gave no timetable for any additions.

[3] All current Big 12 schools sponsor men's cross country except UCF, Utah, and West Virginia.

Note: While the team playing in the championship game from 1996 through 2010 was popularly regarded as the divisional champion, the Big 12 did officially recognize co-champions in football, just like it does in other sports.

The top two teams at the end of the conference season (with tiebreakers used as needed) play in the championship game.

All current Big 12 members sponsor women's golf except Utah and West Virginia.

As in the case of beach volleyball, the other new sport for 2024–25, the Big 12 planned to add other schools to meet the sponsorship level required for an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, but gave no timetable for any additions.

[3] In February 2024, the conference announced the arrival of three associates for its first women's lacrosse season—Florida, San Diego State, and UC Davis.

The Big 12 then took in the three remaining schools from the CUSA rowing league (Alabama, Old Dominion, and Tennessee) as single-sport affiliates.

The departure of Oklahoma and Texas in 2024 for the SEC would allow that conference to begin sponsoring women's rowing.

Eleven Big 12 schools currently sponsor softball; Cincinnati, Colorado, Kansas State, TCU, and West Virginia do not.

Nine current Big 12 members sponsor men's tennis; Cincinnati, Colorado, Houston, Iowa State, the Kansas schools, and West Virginia do not.

Reference:[23] All current Big 12 members sponsor men's track and field except UCF, Utah, and West Virginia.

Missouri became an affiliate during the 2021-22 season after Fresno State dropped its program, and California Baptist became an affiliate in 2022–23 once it completed its transition from NCAA Division II to Division I. Oklahoma remained in Big 12 wrestling after otherwise joining the SEC, keeping that program together with the only other SEC member to sponsor the sport, former Big 12 member Missouri.
